It didn’t take long for the Brazilians to rewrite the norms of Olympic fandom. 巴西人没用几天就改写了奥运会观赛规则。 The list of Olympic participants targeted by Brazilian boos is long and varied: Russians, due to its doping scandal; Spaniards, as symbols of Latin American colonialism; a tennis ball boy who had butterfingers; favorites—like the poor Romanian women’s handball team—when they played the underdogs; and, of course, anyone from Brazil’s historic rival Argentina, who probably get the worst of it. 本届奥运会惨遭巴西观众嘘声的人不计其数:俄罗斯人,因为嗑药丑闻;西班牙人,因为象征了拉美殖民主义;网球球童,因为有黄油手;观众最喜欢嘘的是不被看好的一方,比如可怜的罗马尼亚女子手球队;当然了,还有他们的世仇阿根廷,被嘘得最惨。 |
